Community Projects
For me building community is an essential part of living a fulfilled life. I have been fortunate enough to have the tools, and the support, to develop projects that not only bring me great joy, but also offer something back to others. Creating connection.
Mindful Moments was born out of a profound desire to show people how to tap into a moment of presence with so-called 'ordinary moments". While having a dedicated meditation time is a great way to cultivate mindfulness, it is with little moments of presence that we can integrate that practice and be present. Always.
Shared Table is a project created by Axelle Kaya and Dani Behnod with the purpose of bringing people together. It started with a beautiful and genuine necessity:
going back to the essence of food.
Eating is about sitting together over a meal, connecting with people, and playing with cultural and historical aspects. It’s about the land where an entire ecosystem works on nurturing and growing foods, to build a web of relationships. It makes people question:
Why do we eat? It’s not all about nutrients- it's also about connection.
Where do we eat? Was it in my car or at the office, because our daily life doesn't allow us to restore properly? Or, on the contrary, was it with friends or family, laughing and chatting?
Who was involved in my food? Do I know the person who cooked for me, and more importantly, do I shake the hands of the ones who grow my food?
By asking this questions, we go back to the essence of food: Food is meant to be shared
and make you connect
What we offer is simple but nowadays, it is truly vital:
Share and connect to each other through great food.
